I've got a mass of fantasy models (mostly GW) so I'm only in for the hardback book. Fifty dollars for a hardback book, softcover gaming version of the rules and the counters is great value

I'm resisting the minis deals for now. Although I've always liked their Abyssal Dwarf models and the new Chaos (abyssal) are looking good on a cartoony sort of way.

I've got all the fantasy models I need, but I'm in for the rulebook.

Wouldn't have minded a mini-book-only pledge to have a gander at the tweaks. Dunno if I can even justify the £30 minimum pledge right now!

Definitely not in for any of the models. Existing ones don't wow me. The abyssal WIPs aren't looking too bad - the fact that they're renders suggests they're trying out new sculptors, and this one seems to be doing a better job of translating (fixing...?) the iffy concept art than whoever did the Basilean soldiers and sisters. Though some of the new concept art appearing during the course of this thing doesn't fill me with too much hope.

I pledged for the base pledge with a buddy at 35/15, hardback for me soft cover for him.  That level already has a token set and a free dragon-riding Blaine figure. 

Probably won't pledge for (m)any figs, but KoW is my favorite large fantasy game and I'm definitely looking forward to this new edition.
